Estimating Expectations without Sampling: Neural Stein Estimation
Although state-of-the-art classifiers for facial expression recognition (FER) can achieve a high level of accuracy, they lack interpretabili… (voir plus)ty, an important feature for end-users. Experts typically associate spatial action units (AUs) from a codebook to facial regions for the visual interpretation of expressions. In this paper, the same expert steps are followed. A new learning strategy is proposed to explicitly incorporate AU cues into classifier training, allowing to train deep interpretable models. During training, this AU codebook is used, along with the input image expression label, and facial landmarks, to construct a AU heatmap that indicates the most discriminative image regions of interest w.r.t the facial expression. This valuable spatial cue is leveraged to train a deep interpretable classifier for FER. This is achieved by constraining the spatial layer features of a classifier to be correlated with AU heatmaps. Using a composite loss, the classifier is trained to correctly classify an image while yielding interpretable visual layer-wise attention correlated with AU maps, simulating the expert decision process. Our strategy only relies on image class expression for supervision, without additional manual annotations. Our new strategy is generic, and can be applied to any deep CNN - or transformer-based classifier without requiring any architectural change or significant additional training time. Our extensive evaluation11Our code is available at:https://github.com/sbelharbi/interpretable-fer-aus. on two public benchmarks RAF-DB, and AffectNet datasets shows that our proposed strategy can improve layer-wise interpretability without degrading classification performance. In addition, we explore a common type of interpretable classifiers that rely on class activation mapping (CAM) methods, and show that our approach can also improve CAM interpretability.

The Bayesian approach leads to coherent updates of predictions under new data, which makes adhering to Bayesian principles appealing in deci… (voir plus)sion-making contexts. Traditionally, integrating Bayesian principles into models like deep neural networks involves setting priors on parameters and approximating posteriors. This is done despite the fact that, typically, priors on parameters reflect any prior beliefs only insofar as they dictate function space behaviour. In this paper, we rethink this approach and consider what properties characterise a prediction rule as being Bayesian. Algorithms meeting such criteria can be deemed implicitly Bayesian — they make the same predictions as some Bayesian model, without explicitly manifesting priors and posteriors. We argue this might be a more fruitful approach towards integrating Bayesian principles into deep learning. In this paper, we propose how to measure how close a general prediction rule is to being implicitly Bayesian, and empirically evaluate multiple prediction strategies using our approach. We also show theoretically that agents relying on non-implicitly Bayesian prediction rules can be easily exploited in adversarial betting settings.
Following the recent popularity of Large Language Models (LLMs), several attempts have been made to extend them to the visual domain. From h… (voir plus)aving a visual assistant that could guide us through unfamiliar environments to generative models that produce images using only a high-level text description, the vision-language model (VLM) applications will significantly impact our relationship with technology. However, there are many challenges that need to be addressed to improve the reliability of those models. While language is discrete, vision evolves in a much higher dimensional space in which concepts cannot always be easily discretized. To better understand the mechanics behind mapping vision to language, we present this introduction to VLMs which we hope will help anyone who would like to enter the field. First, we introduce what VLMs are, how they work, and how to train them. Then, we present and discuss approaches to evaluate VLMs. Although this work primarily focuses on mapping images to language, we also discuss extending VLMs to videos.

To handle the scarcity and heterogeneity of electroencephalography (EEG) data for Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) tasks, and to harness the p… (voir plus)ower of large publicly available data sets, we propose Neuro-GPT, a foundation model consisting of an EEG encoder and a GPT model. The foundation model is pre-trained on a large-scale data set using a self-supervised task that learns how to reconstruct masked EEG segments. We then fine-tune the model on a Motor Imagery Classification task to validate its performance in a low-data regime (9 subjects). Our experiments demonstrate that applying a foundation model can significantly improve classification performance compared to a model trained from scratch, which provides evidence for the generalizability of the foundation model and its ability to address challenges of data scarcity and heterogeneity in EEG. The code is publicly available at github.com/wenhui0206/NeuroGPT.

Adapting a deep learning model to a specific target individual is a challenging facial expression recognition (FER) task that may be achieve… (voir plus)d using unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) methods. Although several UDA methods have been proposed to adapt deep FER models across source and target data sets, multiple subject-specific source domains are needed to accurately represent the intra-and inter-person variability in subject-based adaption. This paper considers the setting where domains correspond to individuals, not entire datasets. Unlike UDA, multi-source domain adaptation (MSDA) methods can leverage multiple source datasets to improve the accuracy and robustness of the target model. However, previous methods for MSDA adapt image classification models across datasets and do not scale well to a more significant number of source domains. This paper introduces a new MSDA method for subject-based domain adaptation in FER. It efficiently leverages information from multiple source subjects (labeled source domain data) to adapt a deep FER model to a single target individual (unlabeled target domain data). During adaptation, our subject-based MSDA first computes a between-source discrepancy loss to mitigate the domain shift among data from several source subjects. Then, a new strategy is employed to generate augmented confident pseudo-labels for the target subject, allowing a reduction in the domain shift between source and target subjects. Experiments1 performed on the challenging BioVid heat and pain dataset with 87 subjects and the UNBC-McMaster shoulder pain dataset with 25 subjects show that our subject-based MSDA can outperform state-of-the-art methods yet scale well to multiple subject-based source domains.
